Hello, My name is Johnathon Rourke, Im from Rhode Island. The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. Two years ago, the corporation I worked for the past twelve yearsdown-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past year,I incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends and creditors over$35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just could not seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and struggling business. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life. I am writing to share the experience I hopes that this could change your life FOREVER. FINANCIALLY$$$!!! In mid December, I received this program in my e-mail. Six months prior to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my opinion,were not cost effective. They were either toodifficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too muchfor me to risk to see if they would work. But as I was saying, in December of 1997 I received this program.I didnt send for it, or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly. I couldnt believe my eyes! Here was a MONEY MAKING MACHINE I could start immediately without any debt. Like most of you I was still a little skeptical and a little worried about the legalaspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161 24-hrs) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal ! After determining the program was LEGAL I decided WHY NOT!?!?? Initially I sent out 10,000 e-mails. It cost me about $15 for my time on-line. The great thing about e-mail is that I dont need any paper for printing to send out the program, and because I also send the product (reports) by

I would like to know if is dificult learn all the options of the program, and how much time i need for control as a profesional this aplication. Please answer me, and tell me if you are satisfaced with gimp. elen. I've just taken a job as a 'new media designer' at an established design company where Macs hold sway - all the way. I;m the only guy that uses Unix (GNU/Linux) on the desktop and I use GIMP as my main app. So yes, you can use GIMP as your main app in a RealWorld(tm) 'there's money on the line here' environment. The GIMP as an application has all of the functionality you need to do work for with bitmapped images for screen/on-line presentation. and does a presentable job in other fields too. It is still weak for heavy duty Pre-Press. I refer you to the usenet archives for the whole scoop on that issue. However, GIMPs scriptability is _way_ beyond anything else out there I;ve used. But I really do think that there are some interface issues that need to be adressed at some point. Probably in the 2.0 development cycles. Mainly the operations for grouping/tagging and selecting layers need an update. Also the selection/marquee tools need a look. But GIMP 1.2.xx is in feature freeze now, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for 2.xx. As it is I'm really thankful to the GIMP developers that I can do what I;m doing now on GNU/Linux because of GIMP and not have to use MS Windows or MacOS... Big Respect!! But I've had to invest a bit of time to get the unix environment fully integrated into the workflow here. Mainly read/writing psd and reading apple fileshares and other stuff like java clients for scheduling and projectmanagement, or vmware to run those pesky ms-windows clients... If you're not comfortable in getting the nitty gritty unix file sharing stuff or GIMP patching for psd write-capability sorted, ON YOUR OWN (since no resident Mac-head will be able to help you with much) then I wouldn;t even try to use GIMP as your main app. It's not the GIMP - but your environment workflow that's the problem. just my 0.02. avi
ANNOUNCE: gimp-print 4.0b1
This is the first beta of gimp-print 4.0. This is a major release, and has many important changes over all previous versions. In particular, the format of the printrc file has changed incompatibly with all earlier versions of the print plug-in. The new plugin can read old printrc files but not vice versa. There are also major changes with the Ghostscript driver, a new CUPS driver, and full support for Grant Taylor's Foomatic printer configuration system. Please test this rigorously, and report all problems, major and minor, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I expect that there will be one more beta before the final 4.0 release. However, I do not currently anticipate any further incompatible changes between now and final release. There are no guarantees, of course. Here is a summary of changes: 1) For Gimp plug-in users: the format of the printrc file has changed in a way that is incompatible with older versions of the plugin. This version of the software can read old printrc files, but older versions of the plugin cannot read the new format. The new format uses a keyword-based approach that is far superior to the old format, and will be much more amenable to future changes that may become necessary. 2) Support for the HP Deskjet 800 series has been changed incompatibly. The "pcl-800" driver (HP Deskjet 800 series) no longer exists, since the 800 series printers fall into two distinct groups, the older 850/855/870/890 printers which supported 4-level dithering (HP calls this C-RET) at 300x300 DPI, and the newer 810/812/840/842/895 printers which do not support C-RET at 300x300 DPI (these are the same as the Deskjet 600 series). If you are using the gimp plugin, re-select your 800 series printer from the combo box and re-save the settings. If you are using the Ghostscript driver, choose from one of the pcl-8xx values detailed in Ghost/README. If you have an 800 series printer that is not on the list, please try both the old C-RET driver (choose model 890) and the non C-RET driver (choose model 895) and see which one works at 300x300 dpi. Also, please let us know; the address is in the README file. 3) The HP Deskjet 1220C has been grouped with the 900 series. 4) The HP PhotoSmart P1000 and P1100 have been added, they are like the HP 900 series. 5) Online documentation for the print plugin finally exists. 6) Support for CUPS, through a choice of a native CUPS driver or Cups-o-Matic. 7) Support for the Foomatic printer configuration system, greatly simplifying configuration and use with lpd, CUPS, and PDQ. 8) The preview window in the plugin now shows a low-resolution representation of the actual image. The color adjustment window shows an thumbnail that reflects the effect that color adjustments have on the output. 9) The old GTK-based interface is now disabled by default when used with the Gimp 1.1. It can be enabled by running configure with --enable-maintainer-mode. 10) The plugin now detects the spooling system at runtime, so it need not be compiled specifically for use with Berkeley lpd, System V lp, CUPS, or LPRng. 11) Substantial quality improvement for many Epson Stylus printers in in 1440x720 DPI modes. The price is that printing takes much longer. If you need high quality with better performance, use 720x720 DPI Highest Quality. The specific printers that are affected are the Epson Stylus Color 600, 800, 850, 900, 1520, and 3000, and the Epson Stylus Photo 700 and EX. The effect in all cases will be smoother output that is particularly visible in pale tones. 12) The Fast dither algorithm has been slightly tweaked, and a Very Fast dither algorithm has been added. 13) Most menus have been converted to combo boxes. 14) The printrc code has been fixed to set reasonable defaults if an old printrc file with now-invalid parameter settings is read. 15) It is now possible to print in seascape and upside down portrait mode. 16) The support for the Stylus Photo 2000P has been fixed and should now be correct. 17) Printer names may now be up to 127 characters. 18) Additional performance improvements over earlier versions of this package. 19) A number of miscellaneous bugs have been fixed. Errata: 1) The higher resolutions of the HP Deskjet 900/1220C and the HP PhotoSmart P1000/P1100 have been disabled as they do not work. Investigation into these modes (Photo-Ret III) is continuing. -- Robert Krawitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project lead for The Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
